Trial summary

Electrical conduction in the heart produces a heartbeat; electrical signals are sent to the heart muscle upon each contraction, causing the heart to pump blood. These electrical impulses are recorded by an electrocardiogram (ECG), which makes it possible to evaluate electrical conduction and cardiac rhythm. Read more about this study

About this study

Electrical conduction in the heart produces a heartbeat; electrical signals are sent to the heart muscle upon each contraction, causing the heart to pump blood. These electrical impulses are recorded by an electrocardiogram (ECG), which makes it possible to evaluate electrical conduction and cardiac rhythm. ECG is a non-invasive technique used to assess pacemaker function and perioperative heart health. Ten electrodes are used in the 12-lead ECG, the gold standard for diagnosing cardiac illness and anatomy, to record the electrical activity of the heart from various perspectives. With wireless data transmission to the cloud, this technology is now included into emergency and ambulance situations, streamlining processes and improving signal quality. The purpose of this observational study is to examine 12-lead electrocardiogram data for better clinical application and diagnosis.

Read the detailed description

The heartbeat is a result of electrical conduction in the heart. The heart's contractions release electrical signals that trigger the heart muscle to pump blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. An electrocardiogram (ECG) records these electrical signals from each heartbeat, allowing for the observation of heart rhythm and the assessment of any abnormalities in electrical conduction. The ECG is a non-invasive monitoring tool used for evaluating heart health throughout the perioperative period and for checking the function of pacemakers. By analyzing the shape, size, and time intervals of these waveforms, ECGs provide visual representations that help healthcare professionals assess conditions related to heart valve diseases.

The 12-lead ECG is considered the gold standard for evaluating cardiac structure and diagnosing various heart conditions. This system consists of twelve leads created from ten electrodes, recording the heart rates electrical activity from different angles in three-dimensional space to understand the condition of various heart regions. Currently, 12-lead ECG machines are widely used in emergency and ambulance settings. They often incorporate integrated electrode patches that replace the traditional ten individual electrode patches, significantly simplifying the process and reducing errors. This integration improves signal transmission and quality compared to traditional ECG leads. Data is transmitted wirelessly, paired with mobile device software, and sent to the cloud to support diagnostic reports.

This study is an observational research project aimed at establishing and analyzing 12-lead ECG data. The goal is to utilize this data for more in-depth diagnostics and to observe its differences and clinical applications.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. ECG change related to position

    ECG ST segment elevation or depression might be attributed to varying body postures. The ST segments\' change to baseline will be compared by the investigators.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 30 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Electrocardiogram, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Tzu-Ying Li (886-7-3121101 ext. 7035, trustwithtrust@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ECG change related to position (time frame: through study completion, an average of 30 minutes.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Oct 2024.
